What is the difference between 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, etc?

Internet Resources - Burlington Public Library
refers to a family of specifications developed by the IEEE for wireless LAN technology. 802.11 specifies an over-the-air interface between a wireless client and a base station or between two wireless clients. The IEEE accepted the specification in 1997. The 802.11a specification operates in the unlicensed 5GHz range and offers data speeds up to 54Mbps. The 5GHz range is not yet crowded so it offers advantages in speed over the 802.11b specification which uses the more crowded 2. See similar questions...
